Well done if you clocked the 11/10 easter egg btw. If you get it, you get it. 😅👏 Go give the mystery F1 HUpostr link a smash will ya, spread the love. 🙌 hupost.info/chat/eYxjurOGd9GpZ5c/vide And thank you for highlighting I forgot to update the graphics from 2021 to 2022. Your comments help the algorithm. 😉

I’d personally put Aitken in Williams and Bottas is just out of F1. Maybe rallying in Finland or something.

No rookie drivers? Wierd

I could see nyck de vries getting a f1 seat if his F E season continues this well

I just wasted 12 minutes watching this annoying video. It is not "BoooAsss" it is "Bottas"

Love the lineups, but there is no chance Alonso is not with Alpine in 2022. He even told them to focus on 2022, like you obviously know. That's the entire reason he signed. Barring some massive, dramatic, unforseen circumstance it's just not gonna happen.

Kimi won't fell cool 2022 car speed drive😥😥😥😥😥😥 Corona maked its not gona be now but in 2022 when he will retire😥😥😥😥

This is an under rated prediction but I think Ocon will be in Mercedes in 2022

Alpha will be Callum illot and Antonio

I agreed with most comments but the one comment about Ocon being in the same league as Ricciardo. No way, that race that Ocon got second was the team and possibly Ricciardo making the wrong call at pitstop. But having said that I do believe that Ocon is a talent, but I don't see Alonso not running out his 2 years. The problem Gasly has is he needs to prove consistently that he is a good driver because of what happened at Red Bull. The talent that is in F1 you need to prove consistently you are worthy of a good seat or a good number 2 like Bottas, Sainz or Perez

but Ocon hates Gasly, they dont like each other. They used to be best friends in theirs teenage years, but it went wrong while competing at one point. This is one of most negative relations in current f1 I guess.

Ocon and Gasly? Pffffttttttt

I just know lewis hamilton will quit after the 2021 season

My predictions Mercedes: Verstappen and Russel RedBull: Perez and Hulkenberg Mclaren: Norris and Ricciardo Aston Martin: Vettel and Stroll Alpine: Ocon and Gasly Alpha Tauri: Tsunoda and Daruvala Alfa Romeo: Giovinazzi and Illot Haas: Schumacher and Mazepin Williams: Latifi and Bottas/Aitkin/Chadwick

You're an Albon fanboy mate. Pierre is a Grand Prix winner now.

I predict leclerc making some two-moves on Sainz haha. Seriously though, ever since Austria 2019 he defends so aggressively. Perhaps too aggressive. Could cost him a penalty or a DNF in 2021.

Hey tommy I would say Illiot and Hulkenberg in Alpha rather than Gionazzi

Squarespace? Go to hell you bloody liar tommo. Alexander The Great Albon sponsored this. Don't lie to us Tommo.😜😂 But we love you too so please love us more than you love alex 😂😂😂😂

Finally, someone who believes Gasly and Ocon in Alpine.

tommo on his deathbed - " kimi will retire......"

Not as sure about Hulkenberg back to F1 as you. Too much F2 talent on the way up..... and I thought Alanso had a 2 year contract, could be mistaken. And it’s a fair bet if Alonso is running, Kimi will run. Lastly - if you replace Bottas with Russell, who goes in when Hamilton retires from driving? Bottas is a great wingman. They may wait one more year if Sir Lewis stays- let George prove he can lead a team on the rise, then promote him to the top spot.

Only real problem i have with this is the lack of rookies i could see shwartzman,vips or ticktum step up

Alonso tiene contrato de 3 temporadas Ns porque teneis tanto asco

Hulkenberg and giovinacci?? No, It must be Robert's from F2 seat

Where are the new promoted drivers for this year??

Tommo makes a decent case for each of his predictions... and he could very well be right on all of them. The only ones I have serious doubts about are Alpine and Alpha Romeo. The match up of Gasly and Ocon would be a good one I think, and it would make sense in a lot of ways... except for 1 big stumbling block - you guessed it; one Mr. Fernando Alonso Diaz. It's not that I think that Fred is going to set the world on fire at Alpine, challenge for wins and reclaim his old glory. It's that he's such a massive persona and it was with such hype that they brought him back, that I just can't see them parting with him after just one year. That would be a big blow to Fred and his ego and something of an admission of a mistake by the team. As for Alfa Romeo, I agree; Kimi will surely retire (where have I heard/said that before) but if he does, there are a couple of hot shoes waiting in the Ferrari stable to step in. I've always liked Hulk but I wish, for his sake, he'd just go away and find himself something else to do. Indy, DTM, IMSA, whatever. Anything where he can go and be successful instead of doing what he's already wasted far too many of his productive years doing.... riding around aimlessly in dead end, back marker F1 cars with little to hope for besides maybe, possibly, grabbing that elusive P10 spot for a single point. It's embarrassing! I get it, F1 is special and it's where you want to be but Hulk has got "yesterday" written all over him. He's been around now for well over 10 years and no big name team has come calling so it's safe to assume that none will be now. He gave it his best shot and good on him but it didn't happen so it's time to accept reality and move on.

*My 2022 driver prediction:* *Mercedes: *Russell & Bottas* *Red Bull: Verstappen & Pérez* *Ferrari: Leclerc & Sainz* *McLaren: Ricciardo & Norris* *Aston Martin: Vettel & Stroll* *Alpine: Alonso & Ocon* *Alpha Tauri: Tsunoda & Gasly* *Alfa Romeo: Giovinazzi & Ilott* *Haas: Schumacher & Mazepin* *Williams: Latifi & Aitken*

Interesting Vid-jo! I don't see Alonso leaving Renault so soon, nor do I see Bottas settling for Williams nor the huge pay cut it'll mean. I think Valterri would go to Alfa Romeo; sorry, Hollywoodberg. Ocon to Williams, loaned by Renault, to replace Alonso in 2023. Giovinazzi will be replaced at Alfa by the next Ferrari Academy driver. As for Mazepin, you said money talks, and I agree. So Haas will replace him with another pay driver.

You got Albon wrong, he's been a clown long enough. If Gasly somehow leaves for Alpine, Kvyat will probably take his spot. For Alfa Romeo, I think Shwartsman or Ilott will take Kimi's/Antonio's spot. Bottas going to Williams is... just no. He knows better than going to a sub-par team like that and will probably go rallying full-time. Replacing him might be (once again in my list) Daniil Kvyat. He wanted to do that once in 2018 but Sirotkin bought the seat, so I suppose he might try that again if an AT spot doesn't free up.

People are saying lewis signed a 1 year contract with merc

Russel won’t sign for Mercedes if Hamilton is still there he said in his contract to not have Russel sign if he is at the team my line up would be bottas and Russel

My predictions: McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Red Bull and Alpha Tauri stay the same I bet Nikita is gonna screw up so bad that no money in the world would be able to secure him a seat, so I want to believe it's gonna be Schumacher and Ilott. (Unless papa Dimitriy buys the team) I'll play a wild card here and say that Hamilton leaves Mercedes to give way to Russell, and he'll be paired with Valtteri. The Finn is the dream driver for Mercedes to drive alongside an insanely talented man like Hamilton or Russell. George is still evolving but he showed us all at Sakhir what he is capable of, so if the 2016 season taught any lesson to Mercedes is that they MUST NOT HAVE IN ANY HYPOTHESIS two superdrivers. Valtteri is not good enough to challenge for the WDC title but he is good enough to secure the Constructors title and keep Red Bull at bay. At Williams, Latifi and Aitken would be the most conservative bet. And if Lewis is not fed up with F1 altogether, I think he would be offered a seat at Alpine to pair with Ocon. I don't care what happens to Alfa Romeo! lol

Alonso 2012 > Alonso 05/06

Norris will join Mercedes alongside George Russell for 2022 and albon will not return

Alonso has a 2 year, we have no idea what kind of contract Gasly has with Red Bull (the organization, not the team), and Hamilton and Perez's one year deals speak volumes to how big a shake up is being anticipated from the 2022 cars.

My Predictions: McLaren: Ricciardo & Norris Aston Martin: Vettel & Stroll Ferrari: Leclerc & Sainz Alfa Romeo: Raikkonen & Giovinazzi Haas: Schumacher & Perez Red Bull: Verstappen & Hulkenburg Alpha Tauri: Albon & Tsunoda Alpine: Alonso & Gasly Mercedes: Russell & Ocon Williams: Hamilton & Latifi (bit of a stretch I know) Panthera (Yep, potentially a new team next year): Bottas & Magnussen

was just watching this back and i'm ashamed i didn't pick up on the 69 retweet and 420 likes lmao

2 adverts in 3 minutes is taking the piss

Surely Illot or Schwartzmann would be preferred over HUlk or Gio?

Bottas waiting it out Williams could work, as Lewis could retire soon and free up a spot for Bottas again.

at 5:30 your graphic says 'Red Bull' when it should say 'Mercedes' btw!

I dont think Hamilton will allow Mercedes to sign Russel to be his teammate.

wel this can go out the window with lewis is special contract

Honestly, I've been into Formula 1 since 2004 and I can firmly say, (and this is not just because I'm huge Alonso fan), Alonso did not return in F1 just to be in it for 1 season. He got that 2 season contract in Alpine and he said it in interview himself 2021 is like a test season and that them all as a team expect some real results in 2022. So he ain't going anywhere for at least 2 yrs.

Mercedes Bottas (Retire after 2022) Russell RedBull Verstappen Perez McLaren Norris Ricciardo Aston Martin Vettel (Retire after 2022) Stroll Alpine Alonso (Retire after 2022) Gasly Ferrari Sainz Leclerc Alpha Tauri Tsunoda Vips Alfa Romeo Hülkenberg Shwartzman Haas Schumacher Williams Latifi Nissany

I can agree with this honestly, I am not a big gio fan tho so I wouldn't mind if in 2022 season had two new drivers there, I think that maybe a new bee and Nico would be a good fit but further I can totally agree with this altho I do have to be honest about that I looking forward to the year that Nyck joins cuz he was worldchamp for a reason in 2019 in the F2 so I hope that he finds his way to F1 in the next few years but also, their are so much young talented drivers atm that sadly don't make it to F1 but I really really do hope that Nyck joins soon

I don't like you.

And what about Callum Ilott. I think he well be in F1 for 2022

“They love the French in France” LMAOOO

I think alfa romeo will be giovinazzi ilott

Happy to see Hulkenberg. he is won of them best.

Put back vattrit bottas to mercedes

Alonso has been hired with a view to 2022, not 2021. Also, there is not way Hamilton's management will allow Russell alongside their man. The boy is too good...

Kimi isn't even 50! Retirement? Dude you're trippin'..

Bottas has to win the WDC or be less than 50 points behind Lewis. He may get one more chance with Merc, since the cars are changing a lot in 2022, and the development has been going on for a while. Giovinazzi swaps with Ilott or Swartzman. Kimi will retire if the car underperforms again. But don't see Hulkenberg coming back to F1 anymore, unless someone gets hit by covid again and he manages to impress with top 5 finishes or something. Bottas and Ocon are better choices. If Russel replaces Bottas and Alfa outperforms Williams again, Bottas goes to Alfa. (Finn replacing a Finn, like Kimi and Hakkinen) Gasly to Alpine and Albon to Tauri seems plausible.

valtteri will retire after this season

would haas ever go for an american pay driver (Logan Sargeant) down the line?

I d rather believe in Alonso with Gasly or Zhou or Lungard rather than Gasly with Ocon

But what am I gonna do without my Kimi?

The only one I disagree with is Alpine as they are going through a management upheaval at the moment so I doubt they will want to repeat with a driver reset next year. That said this is assuming Alonso performs to a decent level, I think the combination of recently changed management, Alonso on a 2 year contract (I think) and the rules changing will see Gastly as test/back up driver till Alonso's contract ends

come on, there is only one reason Bottas is still driving for mercedes, Lewis Hamilton really likes winning

9:01 I don’t think u mean cyril lol

Nobody This guy: _Barly_ Bottas

*MERCEDES - George Russell & Valtteri Bottas/Esteban Ocon* Yep, a controversial decision to start with. After Lewis Hamilton wins his 8th F1 world championship in 2021, the 36 year old British motor-racing legend will retire from Formula 1 leaving his seat vacant for the next British protégé George Russell after another stunning season with Williams, seeing him outscore both Haas drivers and teammate Nicholas Latifi's total... combined. The second seat is harder to predict in my eyes; Mercedes can either play it safe by keeping hold of their current second driver Valtteri Bottas, or they can do what they originally wanted to in 2019, and replace Bottas with Esteban Ocon. *RED BULL - Max Verstappen & Sergio Perez* Verstappen is on contract for 2022. After good signs of development in 2021, both in terms of car feedback and driving ability, Red Bull play it safe in 2022 and keep Sergio Perez in their second seat. *MCLAREN - Daniel Ricciardo & Lando Norris* Both drivers are on contract for 2022. *FERRARI - Charles Leclerc & Carlos Sainz Jr* Both drivers are on contract for 2022. *ASTON MARTIN - Sebastian Vettel & Lance Stroll* Vettel is on contract for 2022, alongside the owner's son. Need I continue? *ALPINE - Fernando Alonso & Pierre Gasly* Alonso is on contract for 2022. Meanwhile, despite an improved 2021 by Ocon, there is speculation over his drive for next year with French rival Pierre Gasly who is looking elsewhere for a drive higher in the rankings. With everywhere else seemingly filled or, in Red Bull's case, he's already been there and it didn't work, the only option he has left is with Alpine. *ALPHA TAURI - Alexander Albon & Yuki Tsunoda* Yuki Tsunoda shows signs of a star in the making throughout 2021, thus keeping his seat at Alpha Tauri heading into next year. With Pierre Gasly heading to Alpine, the Frenchman is replaced by Red Bull's 2021 reserve driver Alexander Albon who, lest we forget, did impress with the team in 2019. *ALFA ROMEO - Antonio Giovinazzi & Callum Ilott* After a good showing throughout 2021, even outscoring his teammate, Antonio Giovinazzi is resigned with Alfa Romeo heading into 2022. Meanwhile 2021 will be the 41 year old Kimi Raikkonen's final year as a Formula 1 race driver. In his place will be the young and exciting British potential Callum Ilott. Side note, should Alfa still need him, I see no harm in signing Kimi to a test role for 2022 (note how I said final year as a *race* driver in 2021). *WILLIAMS - Nicholas Latifi & Jack Aitken* Nicholas Latifi is already on contract heading into 2022 thanks in large part to his financial backing. With George Russell departing ways with the Oxfordshire based team, Jack Aitken is called to replace him after a quiet but solid debut race at the Sakhir Grand Prix in 2020. *HAAS - Mick Schumacher & Nikita Mazepin* Both drivers are on contract for 2022.

hulkenberg to alfa? bottas to williams? please dont make me laugh.

Don’t you do this to Kimi! He’ll last until 2025 atleast.

Cyril Gonna bang there heads together and say sort it out lads: that aged well

9.01 Cyril? This didn't age well

Sorry mate, it looks like you forgot what F2 was. Hulk is the same age as Lewis or Seb. No chance he'll get into Alfa Romeo for me, I think Schwartzman or Ilott alongside Antonio is a better lineup, maybe even bringing back Wehrlein or Ericsson into the sport would be a better move. Hulk is still without a podium, it's time he got one, not time he drove in the midfield. Also, I don't think Hamilton will sign. Maybe he will. If he doesn't, Bottas will keep his seat, and Aitken will go to Williams.

We all no Kimi wont retire

I hope Hamilton retires. I love the guy, but he's done his bit, and he should retire at the top of his game. BUT he probably wants to prove he can win in the new cars too so you're probably right. But if he stays for 2022, when does he retire then?

everyone overrates Hulkenberg . Super Super Talented you say? How many podiums ? How many excuses?

the new dude at alpine watching: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN

WHY HAVENT I WATCHED THIS YET. also yes hulk needs to come back. please.

Vettel and Alonso will both retain their seats, barring disasters, owing to the 'value added' they provide as former world champions. Kimi will retire when he dies. Mercedes will keep the same drivers, unless Hamilton retires - there's no point hiring another driver to do what Bottas does when you already have Bottas doing it. I can see Red Bull paying a pretty penny to get Russell in to replace Perez, as he fits their 'hot young talent' driver archetype. Contracts can be bought out, forced or broken. Albon is going to sports cars or formula e permanently. He may have the Thai connection, but that side of the company is basically the McDonald Brothers of Red Bull

Mercedes drop Hamilton

I think for Alfa Romeo instead of Nico, I believe they'd take on Callum Ilott considering just how good he is as a driver.

this guy genuinely believes Ocon will beat Alonso solely because hes "much younger" LMFAOOOOO ask Vandoorne about that buddy. Ocon is the seat in danger, and please DO NOT let his Sakhir podium blind u from the truth: he was one of the most disappointing drivers last season and was far off the pace compared to Ricciardo if Alonso mops the floor with Ocon the way he did with Vandoorne, Ocon will definitely get the boot in Gasly's favor. in the worst of scenarios Alonso would just get outperformed but still be allowed to stay as many years as he want until retirement, similar to Schumacher at Mercedes. cuz u know, hes a legend, only driver to be champion with Renault. that alone secures his seat. if Damon Hill was allowed to keep his Jordan seat in 1999 and MSC was allowed to stay at Mercedes as much as he wanted despite underperforming (specially in Damons case), i dont see it being much different with Alonso. being a legend of the sport has its advantages also just the well known fact that Gasly & Ocon dont get along would prevent that pairing from happening. theres a reason Renault never went for Gasly (aside from the obvious main reason aka 2 time world champ f1 legend coming back)

Alonso is this year in F1 for 2022 regulations, mate that is easy to know. And with 40 years he is beating ocon in 80% of the races

Gastly and Ocon can't stand each other, so I do not believe this can happend.

I actually agree with almost all of your predicitons... But Bottas? Really?... Don't think that. He's got so many side projects at his hands. And he will would never switch from mercedes to Williams. I mean just because auf the money...

No Rookies?

Alonso will lead renault y they will sack ocon

Sorry this predict has some errors for sure you will have some F2 drivers coming to F1. For instance Hulk is not coming back to F1 :( his time in F1 belongs to the past now.

I think Alfa Romeo will have two new drivers for 2022. Hülkenberg as a Kimi-replacement is good guess but, I don't see why Ferrari would keep Giovinazzi for another year when they could give that seat to someone like Ilott.

Alonso literally rejoined for the new regulations, before they got put back, I don't see him leaving after a year

Lewis doesn't want an ambitious young talent next to him who could potentially outclass him. I don't think that he and Russel will be team colleagues. I believe Merc will have two new drivers in 2022 including Russel.

im pretty sure alonso has a 3 year deal

well done mate!

Why do you keep saying the haas is the worst car? A simple check of the constructor points answers that question

ugh sorry Tommo but the Alfa Romeo seats are you TAPPED I've had enough 🤣

2021 Hamilton wins his 8th then retires. Max V. takes Lewis' seat, George Russell replaces Bottas. Bottas will stay and take another seat if available, Gasly replaces Max at Red Bull, Alex Albon replaces Gasly at Alpha Tauri driving with Tsunoda.

Wait, am I the only one that realised that tommo put red bull instead of mercedes at 5:22

In hindsight, maybe Raikonnen will join Bottas in WRC and challenge him to the title of fastest Finn on ice.

We are all spit balling here but I think that it is more likely that Bottas ends up in WRC in 2022. He would then become the fastest Finn on ice!

Idk about Albon coming back that fast and gasly moving just as fast and Fernando but other then those 3 I’d say your right on the money

I think mazerpin isn’t going to last at haas

Ocon and Gasly don't like each other at all, so I don't see this pair happening any time soon. Also Alonso is the boss, if they hint at getting rid of him, he will break them.

I wonder what the line-up for 2022 will be if Lewis doesn't sign for this year.

Ocon is nowhere near Ricciardo level. He beat him only twice in qualifying which is an extremely poor record among teammates. I believe Ocon is the least deserving driver in the current grid. Really hope Alonso wipes his visor with him this season.
